In the video, which may contain disturbing material for some viewers, police said Levar Jones, 35, is seen stepping out of his vehicle when a police officer’s voice asks him for his driver’s license. Jones turns back to the car, leans in and as he straightens up and turns around, an officer identified by police as Groubert enters the video yelling, “Get out of the car. Get out of the car."

Four shots are fired and Jones moves away from his vehicle, saying, “I just got my license. You said get my license.”

"The force administered in this case was unwarranted, inconsistent with how our troopers are trained, and clearly in violation of department policies," South Carolina Public Safety Director Leroy Smith said when Groubert was fired, CNN reported.

Police said Jones was being stopped for an alleged seat belt violation.
